Why don't they let them talk about nominations?
 

There's no point in making the series all about "gameplay" if they can't discuss nominations which is the main aspect of the game

It was so good when they did it on BB13 and I was fumed when they banned it again!

probably to stop influencing other people’s nominations

No its part of the game, that they struggle with most which makes it interesting. Its also about the only part of the original format that survives from the days when it was a social experiment.

True I forgot how riveting it was to watch Conor, Arron, and Luke S scheme and plot and form a voting bloc.

I know but that's the point, how can they theme a series around gameplay if they can't influence each other

The whole show becomes about gameplay and tactics when they do that, and doesn't leave room for much else. That's the impression I got from BB13 anyway.

But Lydia was also in the process of creating an alliance with Deana, Lauren and the other icons before it got banned so

It's all we'd ever hear.
